The is over 200 years old they don't have plumbing or electicty (I nearly left after two days, but stayed a week). But they do make their furniture and it was gorgeous. The bed. I gotta admit was the most comfortable I've ever slept in -- no springs, no traditional mattress. They even let me milk a cow...it's true. My friend makes the most gorgeous quilts.

They barter for most of their needs, they grow their own food, slaughter their own animals (not around me). I don't really agree with them on some things -- seriously no running water...no washing machine (ack) no Internet...no phone! I had to use my rental car to charge my phone.

They gave me a table, no nails...it's a gorgeous peice in my foyer (even if the kids fucked it up by opening the front door too wide)

No Phil you made an assumption, based on a presuppositional opinion that you quickly threw together and assumed, perhaps since no one has challenged your world view, it must be right.

So I said and will say again, I didn't write the bible. If they believe it, the bible tells them to sell it.

Are your relatives Amish?

Technically yes. But they're kinda out on their own.

She's a pen-pal I've been writing to since the 6th grade (I've saved all her letters). Her marriage was technically arranged. Our teacher wanted us to reach out to other children across the country. I chose her at random.

I love the way they live, it's fascinating to me, but totally not for me.

Which verse(s) are you referencing? There are many passages that denounce wealth, and debt. The old testament has many verses about caring for your home, land and animals. Women, children and slaves were all considered possessions. Jesus hardly walked around nude.

Did you miss where I said new testament and whatever parts of old it references?

EDIT : Once again, I didn't write the bible. If you want to point out it's inconsistentcies it isn't my problem nor does it invalidate what I said.

Man you are dumber than a bunch of rocks. What difference does it make to my claim if people can't follow the new testament and the parts of the old it references? You are so Damn stupid you are agreeing with me and don't know it.
